Anti-worm drug used by farmers on livestock detected in Scottish red foxes, Vulpes vulpes

The Mediterranean Sea subpopulation of Risso’s dolphin, Grampus griseus is endangered, with population numbers falling. These dolphins are sensitive to environmental contaminants. This study tested dolphin...

Some 25 percent of all plant biomass is in the form of lignin, a biopolymer that, so far, can only be used as a solid fuel. A team of scientists...

Integrating catalytic CO 2 reduction with bioconversion could substantially advance carbon capture and utilization and mitigate climate change. However, the state-of-the-arts are limited by inefficient...

Reducing the impact of coatings would represent a major advance in Europe’s climate ambitions. The PERFECOAT project will develop and validate a new generation of industrial wood and decorative...

For almost a century, petrochemical-based monomers like acrylates have been widely used as the basis for coatings, resins, and paints. The development of sustainable alternatives, integrating the principles of green chemistry...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and from ETH Zurich want to make so-called zeolites more efficient. The classic zeolites, they assert, would even have...

VTT and its business partners have launched a two-year project to develop a concept for a process to capture and utilise carbon dioxide. The aim is to utilise the carbon dioxide produced...

An interdisciplinary team of bioscience engineers and economists from KU Leuven has mapped out how wood could replace petroleum in the chemical industry.

Profitability and sustainability of future biorefineries are dependent on efficient feedstock utilization. It is essential to valorize lignin when using wood. We have developed an integrated...
